Suddenly the landscape has a memory

We went for a walk in the February snow and suddenly the landscape was full of traces. Suddenly it remembered more than on snow-less days.

Or did we notice more? 

Of course the traces are more visible now. But on snow-less days the  traces are there too. But they are very, very faint. The receiver must be sensitive and tuned to ethereal frequencies.

Or we need more practice. And we must learn to be hunters and gatherers again.
